💧 Municipal Authority Sewer System Improvements
The Harmony Township Municipal Authority continues investing in critical sewer infrastructure improvements to better serve residents and maintain reliable operations throughout the Township.
Beginning with the second quarter billing cycle of 2026, residential sewer rates will increase by $10 per customer. This adjustment supports ongoing operational costs, maintenance needs, and future infrastructure improvements. The Township has not implemented a sewer rate increase since 2014.
Harmony Township also continues moving forward with sanitary sewer repair and maintenance projects funded in part through the Pennsylvania Small Water & Sewer Grant Program. These projects are designed to improve system reliability, reduce infiltration and inflow issues, and address aging sewer infrastructure throughout the community.
The Township appreciates residents’ continued support as these important investments help protect public health and strengthen long-term utility services.

Harmony Township continues investing in roadway and infrastructure improvements throughout the community.
This spring and summer, several paving and maintenance projects are planned to improve driving conditions, pedestrian safety, and neighborhood appearance.
Residents may experience temporary traffic delays or parking restrictions during construction activities. The Township appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation while improvements are completed.
Additional project updates will be posted on the Township website and social media pages.
